Facing the holiday season this year was heartbreaking for Sara Davis.
Two summers ago, the Shawnee mom’s world crumbled when her 6-year-old son, Noah, drowned.
Fond memories of him linger in her mind. Noah was energetic. He was happy. He wanted to be a police officer so he could protect everyone he loved.
A physical part of him still lingers in the world as well.
Upon his death in June 2012, both of Noah’s kidneys were donated to two different adults.
“In our family, it was never a question of whether to be an organ donor, it was just a no-brainer for us,” Davis said. “It gives hope that something good can come out of such a nightmare. Part of my son literally continues to live in someone else and that’s a big deal.”
And on New Year’s Day, Noah’s legacy will be known on an even bigger scale.
